hormone crash after ERPC

[jaspie]

Fit I'm so glad that you finally got some answers about your first baby. It must feel like a weight has been lifted. Poor little thing xx Glad you are under such good care as well I'm sure that will only reassure you more. Great news that neither you or DH are carriers of anything too, I'm sure that's a relief. How are you feeling about the news?

Ooh Bernie it's exciting you're getting the crib! Must be crazy thinking baby Jameson will really be sleeping in there! Have a nice time with your brother hope he doesn't eat you out of house and home!

Hopie i can't believe it's been 3 months since your mum's surgery. I have everything crossed that this is the start of your luck changing! You deserve happiness so much.

Blu hope your cm actually is back to normal now and that damn bleeding is giving you a break.

I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday. After no spotting at all yesterday it started again at lunchtime and was slightly more and darker brown rather than tan cm. I was panicking it was going to develop to red but it hasn't, and still isn't reaching my liner it's only when i wipe and my symptoms are still going strong so i guess i have to believe and trust that all is okay until i have my scan on Thursday. I guess if there's old blood from implantation that needs to come our i just have to suck it up and let my body do its job. I'm feeling a bit more rational today.

We're off to bristol in a few hours. Hope you all have fabulous weekends xx

Morning beauties 😀gorge day here!
Fit im so glad you finally got some answers and its great that they're keeping an extra eye on you too. I'm sure your beautiful angel baby is looking after baby fit for you too.
Jaspie the brown cm is a nightmare isn't it. Even if it does turn red try not to stress. I had bright red bleeding and all was fine. Have a great weekend in Bristol.
Hope you both have fab weekends Bernie and Hopie.
All is well her, I had slightly discoloured CM yesterday and overnight but nothing so far today so I do feel it may be coming to an end, I'm so ready for that after nearly 8 weeks of bleeding\ spotting! Not sure I'll ever feel confident enough to go out without a liner on though and I really hate 'big pants'. I'm looking forward too our day out today, it will be a busy one but should be nice.
I need to try and grab some maternity trousers tomorrow as my uniforms for my new job haven't arrived yet. Feeling nervous now and panicking that they will hate me already in view of me being preggers when I start 😕 hopefully I can prove myself in the four months I'll be there.
Have a fab weekend everyone xx

Glad it's hopefully coming to an end Blu! Try not to worry about your colleagues, i know I'd be the same but I'm sure they will all be lovely. Most people are decent people and would understand why you've taken the job, you won't be off for long in the long run. If all goes well there you'll be giving them years of service and mat leave will be a tiny drop in the ocean. Hope you have a great weekend xx

 

[Blu10]

Thanks Jaspie xx

 

[Blu10]

Morning my lovelies, hope you all had a wonderful weekend?
Our weekend was super but went far too fast and now here we are gettung ready for my first day in my new job eeeeeeeek!! I woke up to a funny lopsided bump as baby has decided he/she quite likes to lie on the left side under my belly button 😊
I had great news yesterday, my friend who lost her baby after me is now expecting again so we will be due a few months apart!
I hope you all have a happy monday, its absolutely pouring down here today xx

 

[jaspie]

Good luck for your first day Blu!! Hope it all goes well and looking forward to hearing all about it. Congratulations to your friend that's wonderful news! 😊
It's raining here too but i have the day off today so am still in bed! Weekend at the festival was fun but very tiring, i pulled off pretending to drink though! No spotting all day that day until about 11pm despite all the walking and dancing so I was happy.
Cm is now alternating between white and tan now which is a bit better i guess. Still some brown when it's tan too. My sore boobs disappeared yesterday morning and i panicked and thought for sure if i even get to my scan on Thursday it will definitely be bad news with the spotting too. But then they came back in the afternoon and I felt so sick i struggled to eat anything so then i felt more positive again. Rollercoaster! 7w1d today and scan is 3 sleeps away on Thursday eeek. Excited and scared! Didn't have the sickness last time so I'm cautiously hopeful this time is different!

Hi all!
Glad you all had great weekends. Blu- wishing you all the best in your new job. Forgive me, but I've forgotten- what exactly is your new position you will be doing?
Fit- what a rollercoaster of a day that must have been when you received the news on the autopsy. A baby boy- just like you both had thought. Very good the doctor said you both are not carriers of anything chromosomally, and so great you and baby are being monitored so well by the best hospital around you..I'm glad you feel a lot of reassurance from that. I still have to go to the doctor to get the genetic testing results and find out what happened. I am anxious to find out, just need to find time to get to the city to my doctor.
Glad you are feeling good. I feel nothing but positive for you guys!!
Bernie- how is the crib? Hope you had a great and relaxing weekend.

Jaspie- only natural to have a meltdown and to feel anxious about Thursday's scan. Glad you are feeling good and positive today. Just 'pray, hope and don't worry'.. Or try not to worry too much, at least.
Symptoms come and go and yes, good you are feeling sick! Still sounds like old blood and it sounds like you're doing great!
Great job having fun and faking the drinking!

I'm going to try some mindfulness meditation today. I've never suffered from anxiety.. I've had some depressed times but nothing like this. It all started with nightmare stressful job last year, then the m/c and then both parents falling ill. I never knew how terrible anxiety is and am determined to help it without trying medication first! (though my sister dropped off kolonopin for me last night, because I kept having heart palpitations!)

Anyway, hoping and praying for a great week for all of us and lots of positive news! xxxx

 

[Blu10]

Evening ladies, not only did I survive day 1 but I also loved it! Im sure once ive settled in it will all be ace, feel really optimistic.
Oh jaspie i bet you cant wait for thursday now, it will be such a relief to see bubba on your ultrasound 👍 i hear you on the CM.... ive gone from brown to tan for 3 whole days so i also hope its a positive sign for you.
Hopie i think the mindfulness and anxiety management sounds a great idea. I bet you cant wait to see the back of 2015, what a blooming year. I work as a clinical nurse specialist for patients with terminal illnesses, such a rewarding job, i love it. How are your parents?
I just went to start tea and forgot to take my chicken out the freezer until this morning so its still pretty frozen - might be a takeaway night tonight 😉

 

[bernie86]

Hi ladies! glad to hear you had nice weekends! fit Im so glad you finally got some answers about your last pregnancy. I really think that helps with closure, and can help with this current pregnancy. Blu so glad you enjoyed your first day on the job! Jaspie- it may feel like forever but thursday will be here before you know it and you will get to see your baby happy and healthy. feeling loss of symptoms is scary, but really we should enjoy the brief moments with out because they will be back in full force before you know it.
I had a nice, productive weekend, but again no crib! my hubby and FIL were in full force working on the back yard this weekend... I think they are starting to feel the Oct. deadline. So I couldnt tear him away,but I did some serious organizing in the house and cleared out all of our things that accumulated in the "spare Room" so now when the curtains for the babys room come tmw I will get those hung and hopefully we can get furniture next week! maybe hahaha Then I can do my favorite part and start art projects for the room!

 

[Blu10]

Do you have a theme for babies room Bernie? X

 

[jaspie]

Glad the first day went well blu! It sounds really positive! Glad your cm is clearing up too, nothing here yet at all today just normal cm so fx.

Hopie I think the mindfulness will help, i used to suffer from anxiety and it is really horrible. Heart palpitations are very unnerving too. Hope the mindfulness works for you.

Good on you Bernie for organising the house! With the room clear and the curtains hung it'll be perfect for putting the furniture in next weekend!

 

[bernie86]

No real theme, im keeping it pretty neutral with light grey and white and a touch of blue accents. I dont know what I want to put on the walls quite yet, but When I find it ill probably just paint or draw it myself. What about you guys, any plans for theme?

 

[Blu10]

Sounds good Bernie. No plans yet were hoping to find out team blue or pink in 3 weeks so will decide then.
Think ive felt baby move a few times today x

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Hi girls!

Blu glad you're enjoying your new job! It sounds very rewarding and I admire you for being able to do something that sounds so difficult emotionally. Reminds me of the nurses who delivered my angel - the kindest people you could ever meet despite working in a ward where they deal with nothing but dead and dying babies.

Bernie it sounds like Jameson's room is coming along nicely!

Jaspie can't believe you get to meet Baby J for the first time tomorrow!!! Can't wait to hear about it.

How is everything with you Hopie?

I am tired of being away every weekend. We are home this weekend and then gone again the next to my cousin's wedding. My MIL is going to come to the gender ultrasound with me, so that should be fun.

 

[Blu10]

Hey girls, how long until your scan fit? Hopefully Ill know in 3 weeks eeeeek!
Wishing you all the luck in the world for tomorrrow Jaspie.
Hope everyone else is well.

Xx

 

[jaspie]

Thanks girls xx my scan is at 6.15pm so i have to wait all day booooo! But this time tomorrow I'll know the outcome! Eeek!
Tan cm is only a little in the mornings the last couple of days, then just normal cm all day. Hoping this is a good sign. Gone off food this week, I'm getting hunger pains and nausea but don't fancy anything so have to force something bland. All I've eaten the last few days is toast and butter, potatoes, cereal and soup. Meh!

Jameson's room sounds lovely and calming. I've no idea for theme yet, it's still sinking in I'm even pregnant haha!

Fit i hear you on the busy weekends, we're away loads atm too. I just want a weekend at home too! Enjoy this weekend, our weekend in is the following week.

Blu yay for movement! So exciting!! Hope your first week is going well

 

[hopie2015]

That's is great, Jaspie! Sure sounds excellent and we all are looking forward to hearing about tomorrow! Good you are managing to eat at least a few things. Thank you -- sure hope the mindfulness works.. I can't do it more than 20 seconds without my mind wandering!

Blu- what an amazingly rewarding career you have! I remember way back you said something about nursing, but I didn't realize your specialty. I went to school for nursing right after college but failed chemistry so I dropped out! I regret not trying harder and having a more rewarding career. Corporate America has worn me out for good!
Are you up on your feet most of the day? So glad you love all your new co-workers and your new job!

Bernie- your plans of the colors for nursery sound lovely. Have fun with the art projects. I wish I were more artistic like that!

Fit- so glad for you that you have a weekend home for once before your next wedding. I'm sure it has been exhausting. Nice that your MIL is going to your scan since your hubby can't. You get along pretty well with her, right? I know what you mean by the kindest people ever in the nurses you met at the hospital. I had the same experience. After coming off a horrible year at that time of working with and for finance s*it asses from hell(sorry!) meeting all of those incredibly kind nurses renewed my faith in humanity!!

Best of luck Jaspie-- soo excited for you.
I had ONE hour of sleep last night..so hope to nap now. I have such an exciting life!
xxxx

 

[jaspie]

Thanks Hopie! Eeeeek!! How come you only had an hours sleep last night? Enjoy your nap! Hope everything is still good with you and your parents are doing well xx

 

[Blu10]

Oh I love it Hopie, definitely rewarding! I previously worked in a hospital but this job involves seeing people at home so my day will be variable. Hope you managed to get some sleep.

Two lots of news here.....
1) no bleeding since fri and now my CM is creamy! Yayyyyy
2) baby Blu has definitely been wriggling the last 2 days ☺

 

[jaspie]

Yay Blu for no more bleeding and creamy cm being back! Yes!! And double yay for a wiggly baby blu!
